Turn times will vary greatly, but a line of credit is usually only somewhat faster than a full blown first lien mortgage.  It does depend how much equity they have and how well qualified they are - if it's a 'slam dunk', the process shouldn't take more than a couple weeks provided an appraiser can get out there quickly.

Depends on the bank, on client's cashflow and overall credit profile, also how fast appraisal can happen and so on. Plan on about 30 days.

Getting any HELOC will depend on how qualified someone is, who organized their paperwork is to submit to the lender, and then on the lender, as well.

Usually a couple of weeks, or less.  Depends on the bank you go through.  Most need an inspection of the property and an appraisal.

 

John Meussner is my first thought for a CA lender that can help.
